For all the people calling people ignorant and idiots, lets keep the debate educational and to the point. A quick search led me to this study. LIke i said early i am not a dog lover, and dont claim to know much about them. But i would love to learn about this topic. So if anyone is interested in a real debate and not name calling, please post some statistics from a reputable source show that pits are not aggressive and dont just go physco as the below quote tends to suggest.

There are studies out here that address the topic, lets see if we can dig the truth out because each study is going to have its own bias im sure. Please no "my pit hasnt and never will bite anyone" or anymore personal stories to try and prove a point. Post up some stats and lets go from there.

Ill start, and again i havent formulated an opinion on the matter so no need to personally attack me.

According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question.
